"It’s been clear for a good couple of years now that gaming – and computing as a whole – is moving towards the realm of clouds, digital downloads and online streaming. To an extent, these breakthroughs have been considered as something that could coexist peacefully with games consoles. Sony, for instance, recently purchased the game-streaming service Gaikai, in what seems like an attempt to extend the Playstation 3′s longevity by giving it access to the cloud gaming realm. Microsoft, meanwhile, have long been linked with an acquisition of troubled cloud-gaming platform, Onlive."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
I don't know if Sony,MS or Nintendo have anything to worry about just yet. Most cable companies want to put bandwidth limits on consumers and streaming games would have them going over that limit time and time again.
Also there are no exclusives made by the cable company so everything would be 3rd party. Of course that is kinda easy to fix but it will take time.
Hahaha, no. Simple as that.
Cloud gaming is and always be an option for many years to come it wont replace anything.
No sense of ownership then whats the point having it new? it almost feels like piracy.
There must be incentives if they wanna pull this through like all-free DLC if you get it day 1 or something.
Unless the cable company infrastructure is fixed across all states & an abroad this is a dead issue. Ex. bandwidth, speeds, service to all areas , Ala cart pricing . till then i will continue on my consoles .
i don't understand neither motion not mobile gaming has took over traditional gaming. now the media is moving to the trend "oh free to play & cloud gaming is the future, consoles are obsolete now" if anything console gaming will prosper and cloud gaming will be integrated as a feature option but it'll never replace consoles.
